Hawaii Marriage License
All you need is $65.00 in cash and photo IDs to get your license at the State Department of Health at 1250 Punchbowl, no waiting period and no blood tests.
If either of you have ever been married before you just need to write in the date and county where the divorce was final, if it is within 60 days, bring documentation.
The State Department of Health is open from 8 AM to 3:30 PM Monday through Friday and is in downtown Honolulu on the corner of Beretania and Punchbowl across from the state capitol building. It is first come, first served, but if you go in early enough you will be in and out in fifteen minutes!

The application will ask for the first, middle and last name of your biological father and the first middle and MAIDEN name of your biological mother. One of the reasons for this is to provide infomation for future generations who may be tracing their lineage. As I explained to one of my brides, some kid in 2525 who is researching her lineage may be working on something important and need to have the biological information of her heritage. So when you are filling this out, give a silent nod to that curious child of the future, who will someday look for, and find, you.
A word about receiving your official marriage license from the State Department of Health
sooner than three to four months after the wedding: There is a certified copy request you may fill out and we will submit it for you with the marriage license, but in order to do this we must have a scan of the groom's driver's license and have him sign a note we will provide giving us permission to file the request for you. They are strict about this to avoid identity theft. In addition you will receive a letter from the minister testifying that you were indeed married on that date; a copy of the marriage license and a copy of the certified copy request. This makes getting your paperwork started a lot sooner so you can make name changes.
My experience has been that the more documentation you provide, the better!
If you are active duty military, generally the marriage license will be ready in ten days.
